lNvEN'ToR A'I'IORNEAYA Patented Mar. 30, 1926i` 'Y MAX J. MARYMONT, '0F BRooKLY-.VNEWXOR'K f i COMBINATIQ .BILL fir-ib FQLDER- Be it known that I, MAX il. MiiiiYiiioNii;

a citizen of the A'United States', vresiding .at lrooklyn. in the county or' Kii'igs'and State of New York,. have inventedceitain"new andA useful Improvements vin Combination ing is` a'speeiiic'ation. Y

The present invention relates tofpocket` Bill 'and Key Folders,'o fV ivliioh the follow-V books or bill folders and has for its object.

to provide a pocket-hooker bill folder combined With an additional folder for yholding keys-to form a single article and to thus eliminate the use'fot1 separatefolders for bills and keys. f

Another object of this invention is to con-v struct the additional folder, so that the keys suspended therein can be individually Withdrawn or piilled out froml the case to faoili Vtate the 'use thereof. i

. A third object is to provide means in said:

folder, wherebythejkeys, When-not used, are

'securely held in position.- Y

in view, my

With these and other objects invention consists in the combination,v arrangement and construction of parts as Will be hereinafter more fully `described and deinedin the appended claims.

In Vth-e drawing in which similar reference characters denote corresponding parts, Fig.l

1 isV an elevation of the foldeifseen from the back of the bill folderw'ith the flaps thereoi1 opened; Fig. 2 is a cross-section' on4 line 2-2 of Fig. l; Fig. 3 isa longitudinal sectionon line 3 3 of Figfl; Fig. 1 is av partial elevation similar to Fig. Vlof a modified construction; Fig. 5 is a section on v line 5 5 of Fig. 1; Fig. 6 is a partial eleva- Vtion similar to Fig. 1 of another inodiiication; Fig. 7 is a section on line y7 --7 of' Fig. 6 and Fig. 8 is a section on line 8 8 ot Fig. 6.

The article forming the subject of this inf vention comprises a main folder 1013er bills or the like, which may be of leather and of the usual construction, and an auX- iliary or additional iolder 11 of the same .material stitched or'otherWise fixed to the outer face of the back of the 'main folder 10,- as at 11. 12 denotes the flaps of said folder l1, which, like`V those of the main folder, are adapted closed position to overlap one another and be buttoned by snap buttons and eyelets 13, 14 as usual. To the' inner face of the folder 1 1, according to the Constructionv shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, is

ities. byeyeigrs 152:01# the iike a' rigid Jpiafe 15 of metalor other suitable material. Which inaywby stamping or otherwise befforined' with a plurality of pairs-'of parallel'flangeslfe'xtending .transverselyofthe, plate 15'.,

'llieseiianges kare recessed longitudinally,

as at 16 'and the slits oi'each pair of lian-ges serve to slidably .engagea member; suchgas a pin' V17v or the like,"from Which'f'a-'key le maylbe.pivotallysuspended as vbyineans of are'silient hook "or the like 17"...` Wl-ien" not lin'use, the li ooks"17" 4 occupy positions neartheinii'er ends 'of the slits "16' andthe Ykeys Llie iiat against the inner face otthe' folder to be`v concealed by the flaps 12,;Wheii" ink closed position. When it is desired to use one ofthe keys of the bunch, the flaps are unbuttoned and unfoldedand on grasping the desired key 7c," the latter together Witli its hook 17l isturned around the axis of its pin 17 and simultaneously pulled outwardly to the extreme outer end ofthe slit. The obj ect of making vthe suspension pins 17 slidable is to permit the key'stono-imally oceiipy a position `Within theffolder ivhere' then.' heads will be. concentrated 'nearest to tlie middlepart of the folder and vWill'notloe y" too closeto theedge'o'f the folder.Y -Inthis manner, the overlappingheads of the adak jacent keys."ivliieli become quite bulky, particiilailyivlien two ormorel keys are sustlie'closiiig and biiitoning of the flaps 12 and the folder in closed positionwill not be bulging at itsedges, but near the middle part thereof. l At the same time the clear-c.

ance 'desired between the key turned outwardly for use and the folder may be. obtained even with afrelatively short hook.

To simplify the construction, eacli'hook 17' carrying a keymay be pivotally mounted in a separate base plate. 18, which is long-itiidiiially recessed,- as at 18 to slidably en-A a rivotior pin 19 project-ing from the inner face-oir1 the folder l1. VThis modifica-f' v'tion is Yslioivnin Figs. land 5. The severalf Vplates are arranged side by side with theirf'y peiided `ifrom a single hook, will not hinderv ico adjacent edges bearing uponv one another. i

The pivotal connection of the hook Witli'its corresponding plate is' obtained by' a pin bearing` inthe rolled up or tubular; outer edge 182 of the plate. Q

lplates 2O are kslidebly moimted in grooves 15b formedin the baise plete 15VIL and extending trzinsver'sely thereof. The sides of these grooves 15b are dovetziiled or bevelled to enga-ge the correspoi'idingly sliaped edges 15C of the plates 20, thereby securing yre,otilinlearr movement. base plate l5SL and extending tliroiiglr'loiigitudinal slots 20 provided'in the indivi'dnel platesQO serye to limit tlie movement of the latter. To liold the vindiyidnal hooks in positiomWliile one of theV keys is in nseI may provide on t-lie base plate 15 (Fig.4 l) or on the individual ,plates Y2O (Fig.l 6) snap members 152 or 22'i'espeetively adapted to engzige tlieslianks of the hooks 1'?"l Wlien in normal position'l Since Various other. modijeatons may be made in the constrnetion of the key support'- ng' means Without departing from the principle of myinvention, I do notJ Wish to restrict myself to the .,zdetils .described and Pins 2l. projeetin'g from 'the members in position, when not in use.

A' folder for keys comprising rigid means fixed lto the inner face of said folder, a plurality of key supporting,` members pivotnlly and slidzrbly carried vby Said rigid means andmeans for retaining individually said key supporting members in position, wien not in use.l

3. A folder for keys comprising e rigid means fixed lto ythe inner face of said folder,
